Been in a N64 mood this week.
87 🍌 into DK64 so far playing the Tag anywhere romhack (because i respect my time). Been really enjoying it. Probably won't complete it but i'll get what i feel is enough then finish it.

I've also played bits of other n64 games too know which one to add to my list.
So Kirby 64, the bomberman 64 games and goemon's great adventure will be played at a later point.

Beat Shanta Risky Revolution a few days ago and think i'll start Shinobi Art of Vengeance today.

I'm also about halfway through Escape from Ever After. Really enjoying it. Not as much as i loved Bug Fables but a bit more than Born of Bread.

I also can't stop playing Suika Game Planet

Beat "Astronite" last night. If you like metroidvanias and "1bit" artstyles like in "Minit" and "Master Key" then play this game. It's great!

I also got my limited run orders yesterday so i'll be playing "Shantae Risky Revolution" finally.

I was planning on playing more of "Dark Deity 2" but i had no idea the paper mario inspired "Escape from ever after" released yesterday. So that will be my rpg for the next week probably.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2025 - Our Most Played Games

Aispen

Hades 2, Tomb Raider 1-3 remastered collection (played 2 and 3 last year) and Two Point Hospital are my most played. All around 55-60 hours.

Had Octopath Traveler 0 released a couple months earlier it would have crushed my top 3.

Among new switch 1/2 games my favorite is Hades 2, but i think the best game i played last year is either Gravity Circuit or Unsighted

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (10th January)

Been playing a lot of the new Suika game. Love it!

Might beat Monkey Ball Banana Mania this weekend unless it get's too frustrating.

About 50 hours into Octopath Traveler 0. I hope to beat it before DQ 7 Reimagined. Played the demo and really loved it but can't play two looong rpg's at the same time.

Just started Monkey Ball Banana Mania which is always a great time 🐒🌐

Played a fair bit of Fading Afternoon which i really want to enjoy buy just like with Yakuza i just can't bother with the beatemup combat. Seems like they're both great games but not for me.

Been on a ps2 kick this week. Played a bit of Oni and about halfway through GTA Vice City Stories. Really need to upgrade to a better fan. It's so loud! ✈️

Wanted to play something i've never played, yet nostalgic and something i could have gotten for christmas when i was a kid. So i started to play the ps1 version of Gex 2 on mister fpga. Really like it so far.
Beat the first one on switch a few weeks ago.

Right now i'm almost finished with Schim, a fun, small game where you're jumping from shadow to shadow kinda like a squid in Splatoon.

Been sick with the flu since tuesday and when i'm feeling well enough to play something it's mostly been Octopath Traveler Zero and Once upon a Katamari.

Yesterday i randomly decided to play through Gremlins 2 on nes which was great. Never watched the movies before but watched 1 last night and probably the sequel tonight.

I feel the need to play more 8 or 16 bit games so i think it's time to finally play wacky races on nes or 007 james bond on game boy

Currently trying to wrap up the last few levels in Nintendo world championships on Switch. Been enjoying it much more than i expected when i got a physical copy on sale recently.

Still playing Prime 4 and Octopath 0. Will probably beat Prime next week. Thinking which metroidvania i'll play afterwards. Either continue my Silksong playthrough (been on hold since october) or start Laika.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th December)

Aispen

Both Prime 4 and Octopath 0.

I'll also try to get some more time in Stray Children which is a spiritual sequel to Moon, which inspired Undertale, which inspired Stray Children. The pacifist style of combat is interesting but feels too slow and tedious compared to Undertale but is still fun so far.

I've also been playing Yakuza 0 on and off last couple of months. It's my first Yakuza game and i don't quite know how i feel about it. I love the world and the humour but on the other hand the gameplay and combat put's me to sleep.
I'm gonna give it more time but i don't see myself playing all yakuza games in this style, but i need to try the more RPG ones like "Like a Dragon"

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th November)

I'm a few hours into Lunar 1 and will try to beat it before Octopath Traveler 0 releases in december. Played through the prologue demo and i'm really looking forward to it.

Last couple of days i finally got hooked into Hades 2. Played it every once in a while since it released but put it on the side for other games. Things are opening up and incantations brewing.

Currently transfering games to my PS2 HDD so i might also play some Chulip or Conflict Desert Storm

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th November)

Just was at a record fair. Didn't find any game soundtracks unfortunately but got a couple james bond soundtracks and a judas priest album. Daniel Craig's face is currently spinning around on my record player.

Games wise i picked Dave the diver up again since the S2 update is finally out. Just got Crow Country and Antonblast so i'll probably start one of those this weekend.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (4th October)

Aispen

Wanted something short after spending 50+ hours in Two Point Hospital before beating it.

Went with The Thing Remastered which is ps2 janky but fun so far.

Might start a replay of ps1 Resident Evil 2. Or maybe see how the n64 version feels. Played it for the first time last year and loved it so i'll do Claire A and Leon B this time.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th September)

Mystical Ninja on N64. Been wanting to play that for a while. I'm a couple hours in and i love it. The intro theme song instantly got put on my playlist.

I played a bit of the first snes goemon a few years ago and need to get back to that soon but not until i'm done with this one and maybe Bakeru on Switch

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (9th August)

Aispen

Now that i'm finished with both Death Stranding 2 and Romancing Saga 2 remake i can finally get back into Donkey Kong Bananza.
I'm taking my time with it. Not completing everything as i go through but still collecting a big bunch of bananas along the way.

I'll try to play some Toree Saturn as well. Love the plot so far after a couple levels

Re: More Switch Games Reportedly Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes

Aispen

@silver-crescent when i play Eiyuden chronicle on switch 2 the framerate's high only in the menus and map. When i exit those the fps stays high for maybe a second then it slows down.
It's the same on all performance modes.
Is it the same in your experience?
I remember this being a bug they supposedly patched last year.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)

Will try to finish Wonder boy: Asha in monsterworld remake. Plays great on switch 2.
Played the original a couple of years ago and while the remake isn't on level with "monster boy" and "dragons trap remake" it's still fun.

Ripping my hair out trying to win all the knockout tours in mario kart on 150cc

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st May)

Trying to beat Rise of the Third Power as my last game before switch 2 arrives.

Beat Wings of Endless yesterday which was a really fun metroidvania, although a bit unbalanced.

I'm having a hard time liking Doom The Dark Ages but will continue in case it get's fun eventually. I'm only at level 5 or 6 but i remember having more fun with every other Doom game including 3

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th May)

Aispen

(Original) Game boy version of Zelda: Link's Awakening on my analogue pocket in beautiful DMG green.

Will also play the new Duck Detective game. Loved the first one.

Then finally start Doom: The Dark Ages. Wanted to beat the new Commandos game first which i did a couple days ago.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th April)

Finishing up Tomb Raider 2 right now.

Generally i enjoyed the first more than this one. A bit too much water and combat which was especially annoying in the early levels with a limited arsenal. Once you get dual Uzi's and a grenade launcher however, it's fine.

Blowing up sharks with grenades is amazing
